Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid which is insertable in the outer auditory canal.
  • a typical hearing aid of this type is disclosed in Great Britain patent application No. 20 70 890.
  • the space available for the assembly of the hearing aid components is extremely limited.
  • the configuration of the various parts is therefore very important.
  • the largest component i.e. the power source
  • the power source is mounted in a depression in the outside wall which terminates the housing towards the outside, in order to place it where the auditory canal usually has its largest diameter. Since this large diameter is usually not very deep, the flat area of the power source was placed parallel to the end wall. But a hinged cover was used for the end wall to obtain a straight outer surface. This, however, has the disadvantage that there is little opportunity to grip the instrument to pull it out of the ear. Moreover, room is lacking for providing, next to the usual volume control, an additional control which permits adaptation of the amplification characteristic of the instrument to an individual hearing impairment, etc.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective representation of the outside view of a canal hearing aid designed in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the instrument according to FIG. 1 with the battery compartment cover in the open position.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the configuration of the components accomodated in the housing of the instrument of FIG. 1, which is shown in section along line III--III of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 shows the interaction of the parts in a schematic circuit diagram.
  • FIG. 5 shows partly in section, a view of the installation of a pitch control along line V--V of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows plastic housing 1 which is shaped to conform to the shape of the auditory canal in which it is to be inserted. It therefore has the shape of an irregular cone.
  • the base of the cone is the large area (face plate) including a cover 2 of a battery compartment (recess), a knob 3 of a volume control and an opening 4 for the entry of sound into the instrument as shown.
  • contacts 5 and 6 as well as actuating member 7.1 of pitch control 7 in a recess inside housing 1.
  • a power source such as a battery 8 fastened to cover 2 by a holder 9 fitting the shape of the battery.
  • holder 9 Besides its bowlshaped lower part, holder 9 has two tabshaped lugs 11 and 12, mutually spaced as indicated by 13, in continuation of part 10 across the battery surface; lugs 11 and 12 being bent toward cover 2 so as to act like clamps when inserting battery 8 into its holder 9, which retains battery 8.
  • Cover 2 is hinged by a hinge secured by its pin 14. For easier handling, cover 2 has opposite the hinge, a projection 15 which, as is evident from FIG. 1, projects out of the large area of housing 1.
  • the operating mode of the instrument is evident from FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • a microphone 20 where it is transduced into electrical signals which arrive at an amplifier 22 via lines 21.
  • This amplifier 22 is powered by battery 8, and its volume is variable through control 3.
  • a network 23 by means of which the desired pitch of the signals to be transmitted is adjustable through an actuating member mounted to the spring of contact 6 in the battery compartment.
  • receiver 24 Provided for the audible output of the sound signals is receiver 24 from which the sound can be conducted to the ear through a canal 25.
  • the instrument is turned on by closing cover 2, thereby causing contacts 5 and 6 of amplifier 22 to engage the battery.
  • Contact 6 is located to occupy space between spring holding tabs 11 and 12 while second contact 5 engages the periphery of battery 8.
